Sansa pg. 741

Summary
In this chapter, Sansa is depressed about her father's death and has been in her room and not left since her Ned died. After a while, Joffrey comes in to get her so she can join him in court later that day but Sansa refuses and Joffrey has Ser Meryn hit her because Cersi has told him that he should not hit her. Throughout the chapter, when Sansa does not do what Joffrey wants her to do Ser Meryn hits her and Joffrey also mocks Ned's death and threatens to kill Robb as well.

Importance 
I believe that this chapter is important because of the change that Sansa's perspective takes. Throughout the book, Sansa is infatuated with Joffrey and all she wants is to be with him, marry him and have his children. However, in this chapter you can see that Sansa is growing bitter with Joffrey because he killed her dad. She doesn't see him as the sweet handsome charming prince that she used to anymore. She also does not want to be with him but has no other real choice.

I chose this chapter because Sansa's fairy tale that she had created and believed in her head is no longer and she has finally seeing reality. I think that part of her also might feel guilty for what she did by sending the letters to her family. Even though she is constantly beating, part of me still does not see the truth in all because at the end of the chapter she thinks " she was a good girl, and always remembered her courtesies."
